OK, well we need a room we can use from early afternoon till the evening, it needs to be part of or close to a reasonable hotel/motel for those who are travelling from further away. We need to be able to make a bit of noise, though not necessarily a very loud noise. (Marshalls can be turned down, can't they John?)

The ability to buy tea/coffee/beer etc, would be very welcome. It needs to be easily accessible by both car (adequate car park required) and public transport, preferably a maximum 5 or 10 minute walk from a tube station.

And not too expensive to hire for a day! Have I missed anything? Any suggestions?

In my previous posting I asked 'What facilities do you think are required' and only Stratman replied
with a list. I asked this because I have access to a room which would be very reasonably
priced but it meets almost none of the requirements in the list! Here goes;

We need a room we can use from early afternoon till the evening - No problem

Close to a reasonable hotel/motel for those from further away. - The hall is in Battersea, SW london.
Reasonable hotels are few and far between in this part of the world.

We need to be able to make a bit of noise, though not necessarily a very loud noise. - Noise can be quite
loud until 21:00hrs approx.

The ability to buy tea/coffee/beer etc, would be very welcome. - I could arrange tea and coffee makng
facilities and canned beer could be made available at cost.

It needs to be easily accessible by both car (adequate car park required) - No car parking next to the place.
It's in a position close to a bridge so parking is in the streets on the other side of the main road. Pay and
display until 18:00Hrs, free after.

and public transport, preferably a maximum 5 or 10 minute walk from a tube station. - 0.9 miles from
Clapham Junction. 2 miles from nearest tube.

FYI. The hall is an ex chapel built next to a house in SW London. It is all hard surfaces and consequently,
it's very 'Live'. It can hold about 240 people for a gig or party. It has nice stage but no sound gear.
However if people wanted to jam, this would be possible if somebody brought a kit (and could play)
or I could arrange to hire one. I already have a bass amp there which could be used.

I was going to start looking for somewhere now that New Year is over. The lack of proximity to a hotel seems to me to be the biggest problem for those who are travelling to London, and want to enjoy a few beers and stay overnight, and be able to carry their guitars back to their hotel room, rather than having to rely on their car.
